I stayed here for a few days while visiting Petra. The staff are amazing, super friendly and helpful, even offering me a tour of the various view points. My room was fine and the bed is comfortable. There is a convenience store close by and a few restaurants. Breakfast is fantastic and includes eggs. The walk to the hotel from the entrance at Petra is 15 minutes and all uphill.

Amazing place
Great hotel for visiting Petra. Located just minutes walk from the Petra entry point. But the biggest asset of the hotel is the personnel - very friendly, welcoming and supportive people!

Located in the middle of the Christian Quarter of Jerusalem at the Jaffa gate, the hotel is central to much of the city and close to shopping and eating. The staff is friendly and the breakfast was pretty good.
